Yeah this is kinda annoying..to see price drops and realize u paid TWICE the amount. :/ well atleast there will be more people online now huh..mission accomplished sony. how about some exclusive stuff for the early loyal fans..like a new car or something :p

Happy Birthday Ftwrthtx, I hope you and other potential new players love the game as much as our current fans do!

nYc, we LOVE our loyal fans like you more than you realize! That’s why we released the new arenas in August for free and will always release new SARPBC content for free. Oh yeah, look for some promotional giveaways soon, likely to be announced on our forums. ;)

Good competitive pricing. Now I’m motivated to spend a little cash on this. Since day one I thought the $15 price tag was ridiculous so I never bothered. Jordan, the key to having a block buster hit on PSN is to have a undeniable price (between $5-$10). Speaking for myself and a few friends, we don’t buy anything that’s $10-$15+ on PSN. My only two exceptions were Wipeout Pure and Lumines.

I bought this game the day after it released a year ago for $15 and I’ve played it like it was a $60 game. I had to put away Resistance 2 to play this game because its just so fun and addicting. $5 is a steal for this game. If you don’t already have it, get it before the price goes back up to $10.

Hands down the best PSN title that is available! I would love to see like a thousand more people playing this game online and get some 3v3 ranked going finally. I’ve had this game since day one and it is the only PSN title that i keep coming back to for more! BUY NOW!!

I like the game but the heavy tearing of the graphics give me headaches. It would be so great if the game would run with vsync on, maybe a little bit slower! Other Unreal Engine Games dont have this issue, i wonder why!

We do have VSync available in the game\’s options if the tearing bothers you. We have it off by default because many of our players prefer faster framerate over VSync, but if it\’s stopping you from playing please try flipping that option to \”On\” and play some more!

We have an option available in the \”System Options\” that enables VSync for players that prefer having it on.

We leave it off by default because most of our players have reported preferring the faster framerate achieved by leaving VSync off, but if it\’s stopping you from playing, please turn it on and see if that helps! Thanks!

My birthday is the 20th.. so Borderlands is what I’m claiming is my gift from Gearbox. However, since I have an extra 5 sitting in my PSN wallet I might just have to pick this up. Especially since it has trophies.

BBBBBUUUUUUUYYYYYYY
its freakn awsome super addicting
i played once with one of the developers dont remember his name i think it was pen something not sure
great game trying to convince my best friend to buy it im sure he will.

The reviews I’ve read on it have been harsh, unjust, and inaccurate. And this game sticks out in my mind as one of the best examples of why game reviewing is so screwed up anymore, and how much game reviews are self fulfilling prophesies.

It kills the sales on a real gem of a game. A lot of people who would have loved it end up never trying it.

It’s a travesty.

This really is a great game. It’s a unique game play idea. There’s nothing else like it.

I’d say it’s not for the casual gamer, because the basic game mechanic requires you to hit a ball more or less accurately with a toy car. It’s not super hard, but it does take a bit of skill. Anyone above casual level can do it with a little practice.

But frankly, that’s what makes the game fun. It seems like every game is designed (ie. dumbed down) for casual gamers anymore, and it’s nice to see one that isn’t.

Wow! I wish my friends celebrated their birthday by giving me gifts. For 5 bucks I’ll buy basically anything :D I remember playing the demo of this and thinking it was pretty cool but never got it cause of the 15 dollar price, then when it hit 10 I kind of forgot about it but 5 bucks, I’m practically stealing. Any chance the fbi knock down my door and arrest me if I buy this?

I paid three times the price drop when it first came out and still think it’s worth it. But perhaps that’s just me.

If there’s any one who should be getting anything, it’s those of us who paid the full amount of $14.99 when it first released. If they had priced it at $9.99 to begin with, I’m sure this would have had a crazy amount of people playing it. Oh, and also, releasing it in Europe the same time as America (considering this is soccer) probably would have helped too. Well, what could have been, right?

As mentioned before, the technical aspect of actually dropping the price is a PSN thing. I think they usually make changes to the store later in the day on Thursdays, so we just have to bear with it… hopefully it\’ll take place soon! Thanks for your patience AND for your support!!!
